This Is Why They Hate Us The same question we had 25 years ago is asked again, and the answer is the same.

Precisely: "They hate us for our arrogance, for our ignorance, for our violence, for the indifference we pay to their lives. Can you blame them?"

For the last few days the President of the USA and the White House communications team have been active agents of Russian influence, spreading the Putin narrative and trying to undermine democracy.

Pete Hegseth just made it clear that in this war Trump regime does NOT care about International law or even our own rules of engagement that are designed to save lives of civilians. This video will be played at the International Criminal Court as part of the prosecution of Hegseth for war crimes.

There are no words. A banner with college dropout Charlie Kirk's mug in it at the Dept. of education? Pathetic.

Three Americans dead and Trump’s UN Ambassador waves it off with some bullshit jingoism. From the people who wailed about Benghazi for a decade. Absolute soulless ghouls.

A mad king's illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump's unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep

This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil

Opinion | There is no reason to think this war with Iran is necessary Trump criticized the Iraq War. Now he’s making the same mistakes.

Even if Trump is taken at his word that he genuinely seeks to liberate the people of Iran, what is his strategy for achieving it? wapo.st/4seF5K1

β€œIt’s no longer a political calculus. It’s a moral and legal and Constitutional obligation of Congress to [impeach]. It would be a violation of the oath of office for a member of Congress not to push for impeachment when it is possible.”

The White House is obsessed with hiding the President's involvement in a child sex ring. It's what they spend most of their time on.

Hey Team USA Men's Hockey, Congratulations, You Just Won The Gold Medal in Misogyny Hey, US Men’s Hockey Team, you may not realize this, but you just won the gold medal.

Still flooded with adrenaline after having just accomplished the greatest athletic feat of your lives, something you surely worked tirelessly for and should be extremely proud of, I can imagine it was impossibly easy to get caught up in the moment...

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

The Disastrous First Year of RFK Jr. The damage the HHS secretary has done to science and public health is appallingβ€”and it could have been avoided.

Health boss RFK Jr.'s 1-year anniversary week was packed with new disasters and reminders of old ones. But even those who should care most are MIA. GOP senators Bill Cassidy (a doctor) and Mitch McConnell (a polio survivor) top my list. My latest at @thebulwark.com open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

America Won’t Be Easily Forgivenβ€”Even After Trump Is Gone The president’s belligerence against Greenland and Canada was no joke to Europeans and Canadians, some of whom say they’ll never trust or visit the U.S. again.

Photo of Trump with a child victim on Epstein Island.

Its a massive failure of US news organizations that there's almost 20 stories ahead of even a mention of Epstein on (Yahoo) the news today. Including nearly a half dozen attack ads about Gavin Newsom, the likely Democratic nominee.

These victims have spoken

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
